Newbie - West London 3.0SI
Hi all,
Newbie here, just picked up a 2006 3.0SI in very very dark blue. Needs an alloy refurb (suggestions welcome for West London and surrounding area) and a cupholder fix, otherwise seems very sorted for the age and miles (78k). Looking forward to some mild tinkering to get her fully refreshed and perhaps the odd track day

First Aid wheels in West Hampstead are pretty good.
Car looks great.

Thanks guys - Ace cafe has been on my to do list for a while, so will keep my eye out for the right event. Surrey Hills beacons for crack of dawn tomorrow - need to confirm it's still got most of its 'go'.

Thanks MrPT, will check them out.
NickDE - yes, it's Nachtblau. I was expecting to go for a black car, but now quite like the rarer blue. Could do with a thorough detailing though as has quite a few swirl marks and a Devon hedge scratch from the previous owner
